It just depends on how somebody likes to drive their vehicle. some people really like beating the piss of it a car and rev every gear out. Others like to be able to smoke tires from a dead idle. If you haven't ever driven a non-chevy Gm big block you might not understand. The buick 455 held the record for the most torque out of a production car for 20 something years. I think it was the viper that broke the record I could be wrong. It was only 360hp but made 525llbs/ft @ 3500 but redlined @ 4500 or 5000. I personly like loads of low end and mid range torque. I don't use the upper end hp.
I ride bike and really miss my Honda RC51(redline of 10K) with its V2 torque. The ninja 1000 (redline 13K) I ride now has an extra 40hp but street riding it is about the same or a little slower. Nothing like passing somebody without downshifting just rolling on the throttle and going from normal following distance/highway speed to passing their front bumper at 110 .
